ActiveX component can't create object (Err = 429)

[ralmanza]

All my apps are writen in VB5 pro. I upgrade my PC but the new machine had VB6 (Visual Studio 6) pre loaded. No manuals come with this machine so I decided install my VB 5.0 pro. Then the desaster come...<br><br>DAO apps don't works (using DAO 3.5 lib or 3.51) allways appears:<br><br>ActiveX component can't create object (Err = 429)<br><br>when I try open my database <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SET DBO = OpenDatabase(dbName$)<br><br>or perform any action on database object<br><br>I have revised - an follow all steps recomended - all about this bug (Q192934,Q240377 at ms suport) and nothing<br><br><br>I know there's a conflict with versions of some files. But how can I fix this bug?<br><br>I have unistalled Visual Studio 6, change from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 an reinstall VB5 and the problem persists.<br><br>Do I need to format HD, install Windows 2000 and then some Office version (97 or 2000) and at last VB5.

I had the exact same problem, too. I found out that if you reapply service packs for Office, that might fix it (you'll want to be running SP3 on VS97, too).

I have the same problem when I deploy an application which ODBCs to an AS400.<br><br>On the first Win95 customer PC I solved the problem by installing mdac_typ.exe from Visual Studio Patch 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the second Win95 customer PC that solution did not work.<br><br>Previous threads on similar 429 errors say you have to trace all the object dependencies to determine which dll's need to be deployed.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't know how to do that.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps someone else might be able to offer advice or tips on how to trace dll dependencies?

I had to use Service Pack 3 and when I distributed my program I had to also distribute DCOM 98.<br><br>Hope this helps, <p>Wally Wojciechowski<br><a href=mailto:wwojo@wilsonpet.com>wwojo@wilsonpet.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Installing DCom95/98 is required to utilize all the good that comes from mdac/ado. Run it before you install. <p>ciaran<br><a href=mailto:ciaranr@albany.jrc.net.au>ciaranr@albany.jrc.net.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
